Chris Brown may skate on any felony battery charges filed against him because, according to reports, Rihanna started the fight by clocking Chris in the face with the heel of her stiletto shoe. "When you take off your shoes and beat someone with high heels, that's definitely going to hurt," said Welford Hart, who lives with Chris Brown's mother in Virginia and identified himself as a member of the family. "He reacted and tried to get her to stop hitting him, but she just kept hollering and screaming." They say Chris' people have consulted with outside legal counsel -- including law school professors -- who have said Rihanna's own aggressiveness takes it out of the felony category. Also, Rihanna's lawyer has said if called, Rihanna will definitely testify.
